Are You Walking on Eggshells ? Or in a Minefield ?

Are You Walking on Eggshells ?  Or in a Minefield ?

Either way, whether you're walking on eggshells or you're now walking in a minefield, those are times when you gotta be sharp and incisive with your instincts and your judgment call as well.  These are instances when an snafu will lead to a problem which later on compounds into a much bigger one, a complex problem which, in hyperbole, you end up creating a 'monster'.

Oh, I liked this concoction of what ASSUME is.  And seriously, this strikes a chord because when the assumption is off-track, you and I know what will happen next.  And you end up either with a pair of protagonists or one of them turns into an antagonist.  It's akin to waking up at the wrong side of the bed and from the time you rise up, you end up committing in succession a combination of bloppers and misjudgments which may end up in a mess which you need to clear up pronto.  

Probably, you were just into a casual convo or if at work, you were in a feedback session, which to everyone's chagrin, turns out to be a disconnect that's simmering to shape up as a real problem to deal with.  You can even with your BFF or partner but suddenly, a friction got ignited probably by just a word or two.

What's just trickier, though, is if you're right in the midst of a minefield, a situation with just more Nays than Ayes, situations where there is a high probability of an issue pushing you in a corner you can't wiggle out from.  Multiple issues, compounded problems, these are ingredients of a minefield where you need to walk through deftly but likely hitting a mine.

During this pandemic when the labor force were the hardest hit, many jobseekers are exerting their darn best in their job search.  What if you didn't had a college degree.  What if you had just one too many job changes.  These are eye-popping lowlights in your Resume where you need to prepare an airtight explanation.  But if you come prepared for it, then you can end up unscathed from the mines.

And BTW, don't miss this out.  Even if you burned the midnight oil to prepare, there will always be unknown variables of the equation.  It's how you run the bases that will dictate the end-result because the ball is solely in your hands.
